Woman's Dominion voice in Talmage's Ohio sermon on home
In Louis, Missouri, June 16, 1895, Dr. Talmage preached on Woman's Opportunity. He argued women belong in domestic and moral spheres, can influence home life, and may enter public roles when prepared, while urging focus on faith, virtue, and family. He cited Harriet Martineau and Elizabeth Browning, celebrated mothers, and urged women to value home as queenly.
